Play: NOrleans +23 over FLORIDA

Florida's Road Fav-3 outright loss/no cover at Tenn seems to weaken their ats matchup strength against a NOrleans team which, according to my ats interpretations, is not all that bad. I like the fact that in their L 7 games, NOrleans has had four opportunities in the role of a Home Fav, won all 4 SU with 2 covers. 23 points is too many.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Play: Miami +6 over PROVIDENCE

Yesterday, the Friar's outright road dog +4' win/cover over St. John's was like a Tale Of Two Cities...."It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...." Down 36-23 at intermission, in the second half, the Friars shot 61% and outscored the Johnnies 46-23 and snagged a 10 pt outright win.

Good for Providence.

But, let's look a little deeper into their portfolio....

In their previous two games, they have two consecutive loss/no covers in the role of a Home Fav by significant ats margins (-14 and -18) and that's what I'm betting against. If you lose/no cover by -1 ats, that's one thing...but 2 consecutive loss/no covers by -14 and -18 is another story.

In their previous six games, Miami has been hovering around the ats median...not real good, but not real bad either.

They've been doing what's expected of them....staying in the game, not getting blown out and I think that counts for something.

buddy, remember that new orleans' coach monte towe was a longtime gator asst coach under norm sloan, and is well liked in gainesville. besides the extra motivation for the privateers, unlikely that donovan will want to pour it on should fla get a large second half lead. g/l with the plays.

Pittsburgh, Pa.
Loop,

Thanks for the heads up on Monty Towe.

Saw North Carolina State play Hawaii in Honolulu 30 years ago.

Monte Towe and David Thompson....Wow!!!

Hawaii had a snazzy point guard from here in Pittsburgh by the name of Jeep Kelly, but his play paled in comparison to the brilliance of Thompson and Towe.

I remember like it was yesterday.

Great memories!
